The Adabas installation package includes a set of sub-products or add-ons. In order to be able to use the sub-products they must be licensed and the corresponding product license file must be provided with the nucleus or utility execution.
From Adabas Version 8.6 SP1 onward, MLC Version 1.3.8 or higher is required.
The error ADANLA occurs if an incompatibility is detected between the Adabas version and the version of the Mainframe License Check (MLC) component.
License file version checking is only done at the version level and not at the release or SM-level. This means that you must have a valid license file(s) for the version of Adabas you are installing. Regardless of whether you are installing a new Adabas version, release, SM-level, or upgrading to a new MLC version, Software AG strongly recommends that you perform an early validation check of your license file(s) to avoid any possible interruption to your install/upgrade plans. If your license file(s) appear incompatible with your product upgrades, contact Software AG and request an updated license file.
For complete information about the licensing process for Software AG mainframe products, read Software AG Mainframe Product Licensing.
